The Acting Secretary of State to the Embassy in Saudi Arabia

94. Re YY’s remarks reported in Embtel 112, Aug 29, Dept believes it wld be appropriate as occasion offers to restate UN principle as indicated in Depcirtel Jun 30 that issue of Korea is full use and [Page 1010] support of UN functions by its Members in maintenance of peace and in opposition to aggression and is not question of special interest to any one country.

It cld be added that all GA and SC resolutions are result of UN deliberation with respect to specific items on agenda and represent UN views re action required. UN resolutions re Palestine and Korea deal with different situations. Former do not provide for force; latter do. It is assumed all UN Members will assist in implementation. Meanwhile, particularly in a troubled world situation, it shld be obvious that any endeavor by individual Members to play one off against another wld undermine unity of freedom-loving Members and decrease effectiveness of UN.
